Very smutty, but still sweet. This is an entertaining read. Going into this you should know that, as Hazelwood states in the foreword, this differs from her previous works: this book focuses more heavily on the relationship, romance, and sex than her previous work, where the plot has relied a lot on the main characters' careers as well. Here the career plotline is also there, but more lik at the background to create some tension.

I listened to the audiobook, and liked how the two readers read their respective characters' speech even when the chapter was from the pov of the other character. This constituted to a more immersive reading experience: the characters always have the same voice, and not different readers doing their own impersonations of them. A great collaborative narration job!
